The Rafah border crossing has been reopened for operations following a two-year hiatus, marking a significant development in regional logistics and humanitarian access. Operative Information Center-OMM, citing foreign media, reports that the terminal has been declared fully open for the movement of Palestinians in both directions.
The reopening of the border is of critical importance for the delivery of essential humanitarian aid and the movement of civilians. This development follows extensive diplomatic efforts to facilitate a corridor for medical supplies and food. Official sources indicate that the crossing will serve as a primary artery for addressing the urgent needs of the population in the Gaza Strip.
The Rafah crossing is the sole pedestrian exit point from the Gaza Strip to Egypt and remains a vital link to the outside world that does not pass through Israel. The ongoing conflict in the region has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis, with the death toll continuing to rise. According to the latest figures, the number of fatalities has reached 71,769 people, underscoring the urgency of maintaining stable humanitarian corridors.
